I play original music and cover songs. I play guitar and sing. I also optionally can play a bass drum and tambourine with my feet. I play solo with acoustic guitar and also solo with electric guitar.
I have been described as blues/folk/country/Americana/bluegrass, but I also have plenty of rock/pop/jazz music in my songbook. I have 12+ hours worth of songs, and I will play any length set.
I have a small amp + microphone, which works well in small spaces. I do not have a large PA for larger/louder shows.

Audiences can expect a different show from me every time, with pure improvisations in every set, and a different setlist for every show - some sets leaning more towards blues, others towards folk and country, others towards original tunes. I can play a very mellow and quiet set, even instrumental sans vocals, blending into the background for a comfortable atmosphere for speakeasies/dinners/weddings/coffee shops, and I can play very loud and rowdy sets well suited for crowded bars/venues/festivals.
I was born and raised in Ogden, Utah. I started playing guitar at age 8, and performing at coffee shops and writing songs around 13. After graduating high school, I enrolled at Weber State University to study music and acting for 3 years until COVID hit. I then decided to pursue music full time, and have never looked back. Since then, I have played music all around Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho, mostly solo, but also with a number of bands. After Christmas in 2023, I moved to Northeast Ohio.
For small/quieter gigs, I can provide my own sound equipment - all I need is a 2-prong outlet.
